The benefit is...both getting fukked over in a jam if I need a new car.......my coworker just one cause hers broke down and she paying 14 percent APR.

my girls mom pays 20 percent APR

that's a damn credit card interest rate :huhldup:

My APR is 2.8 when I had a 700 now I got a 787 so imagine if I need a new car...Probably get 1.99 APR

And when I need a house etc...or other emergencies

Hey I get it. But understand the concept of credit and debt. You get a good credit score means the banks love you cuz they making money off you. Society has conditioned people to think living in debt is good.

I get it. Low interest rate for things. I'm not saying don't pay your bills. But instead of being used to using credit think about just saving up for things and buying them.

It sounds like your pretty responsible, that's great. But overall the credit score thing is a racket by banks to put people in leveraged situations while profiting off them.

I personally don't finance cars I buy them if I want/need one. The last thing I'm gonna do is have a car payment again. I'm blessed to say I own my home. I got no debt. I have a pretty nice emergency fund imo.

In getting a house use a mortgage broker and I understand good credit means better rates but you can get a house without a credit score. It's called manual underwriting.

I believe it. If a score is low solely due to balance, it's shoots way up once paid.

Collections are the true death of a credit score

You obviously don't, Banks aren't making money off you if you're paying your statement in full by the required dates. This is how I am able to almost be in the 800 range

If you're irresponsible and missing payments thats the only way banks make money, by hitting you with them interest rates.

I mean at this point, the credit card companies are paying me to use their cards in forms of cash backs and other perks :ufdup:

No I do. You're seemingly responsible and to you using cc is beneficial. That's fine.

Sure pay your balance in full each month. That's great it's what you should be doing. But most don't. And cc companies get a lil bit just by you using your cc through merchant services. Perks and cash back? That's cool. I personally don't care about them. There's a reason why they offer that stuff. So you'll use cc. And get into debt. Keep playing with fire and you likely get burned. Either apr, annual fees, etc. banks get theres. There isn't anyone with a 800 score that can say the bank has never made money off them. Because just by you using the card they get money. If you think the only way banks make money is the interest rate then please re-evaluate.

I don't believe in debt. That's me. I learned long ago it's risky leveraging earnings. To me it's both math and a peace of mind thing. The only time I ever use a cc is for travel.

But I have a negative attitude towards banks in general. Billions to bail their sorry asses out then they try scamming people into running up debt so they can basically repeat the same thing over again. Hell nah.

Manual underwriting is a way lenders can qualify you for a mortgage without needing a credit score. Lots of lenders won't do it because it actually requires them to work but there are several that do. They check your personal history like job, bank accounts, down payment, etc. it's what they did before credit scores became the big thing banks push today.

Using a mortgage broker can save a lot of money.
